Description

Celebrated for its exceptional breadth, depth,and quality, the Barnes Foundation's art collection includes worksby some of the greatest European and American masters ofimpressionism, post-impressionism, and early modern art, as well asAfrican sculpture, Pennsylvania German decorative arts, NativeAmerican textiles, metalwork, and more.

Founder Albert C. Barnes arranged and rearranged his collectionsin “ensembles,” distinctive wall compositions organized accordingto formal principles of light, line, color, and space, rather thanby chronology, nationality, style, or genre. The ensembles changedas Barnes made acquisitions and new aesthetic connections betweenthe works. Integrating art and craft, and objects from acrosscultures and periods, Barnes sought to demonstrate the continuityof artistic traditions and the universalism of humanexpression.

This application explores individual works as well as theensembles and includes interviews with curators and scholars at theBarnes Foundation and elsewhere. A family tour encourages childrenand their families to interact by considering the ways in which theobjects in the ensembles relate to one another; the role of play orleisure in various objects; and the interaction of music and visualart.

Objects and ensembles by room, numeric keypad entry, and keywordsearch function enable you to access the guide anyway you wish.
